Further to my post about the “Vote No” campaign slogan “no to the constitution, yes to Europe”. Helen Szamuely of EU Referendum clearly also sees the problems and details some of them and the objections. Richard North did point out the problems with the proposed slogan to the Vote No organisers well before they decided to publish it. All of us who oppose the EU Constitution have a common cause nobody, is being asked to state if they want to be in the EU so there is no need to confuse the issue.
EU Referendum:

“Would Wellington have called this a strategy?”

Let me get this straight.

The strategy of the self-appointed Vote-No campaign is to think of a divisive slogan and demand that everyone line up behind them; assume that the government will not win a referendum because it has lost the support of middle England because of Iraq (only people who spend their days and nights in political organizations can think Iraq is more important than taxation, education, law and order, you name it); ignore the core supporters in favour of the waverers whom they will entice with the confused message of vote no in order to stay in the EU and reform it; win the referendum; get Blair to resign and assume that whoever takes over will march in there and negotiate reforms to make “Europe” (I assume they mean the EU) more democratic.
